John Soule, eldest son of George(1) and Mary (Beckett) Soule, was born in Plymouth, Mass., about 1623. The author will follow the reasoning of the late Rev. Francis A. Soule, a man who had access to all of the known original records and had spent several years in a study of the subject. By some writers Zachariah was made the eldest son of the Pilgrim John the fifth child. If this is correct, then the first four children were all daughters and the last four sons, which is not at all probable. And if this theory is true the father must have been married as early as 1622-3. As George Soule stated in his will that John was his oldest son, we shall allow his name to stand in that position.

Samuel Nash, born March 6, 1638, the widow of Samuel ????.

John Soule died ----, 1707 age 75 years. She died Sept 12, 1733, age 95
years. There gravestones are standing in Old Duxbury Cemetery, leaning and weather beaten.
